Overview
Embark on a thrilling jeep safari through Minneriya National Park, home to the worlds largest known gathering of Asian elephants, where herds of up to 300 elephants converge at the iconic Minneriya Reservoir.
Discover the worlds greatest elephant spectacle at Minneriya National Park, a remarkable 8,890-hectare wildlife sanctuary in central Sri Lanka. Each year during the dry season — primarily in August and September — wild Asian elephants emerge from surrounding forests and gather at the shores of the Minneriya Reservoir in search of food and water. During this extraordinary phenomenon known as The Gathering, you may witness hundreds of elephants, sometimes up to 300 individuals, congregating within just a few square kilometers of the lake. Traveling from Colombo in a private vehicle, your expert guide will lead you deep into the park aboard an open-roofed safari jeep for a truly immersive wildlife encounter.
